3 basic tips to remember during Plugins development

Below are some basic tips that I always recommend to use during the development of plugins to increase the stability and robustness of the code:

1 – Use context.depth property

Useful to check all those situations in which the code in a plugin causes the activation of the same plugin generating a loop!

2 – Use GetAttributeValue instead of Entity.Contains for attributes

Useful to manage the given key was not present in the dictionary error! This approach returns a Null value or Default Value if attribute is not present into attribute collections and you will manage a logic correctly.

3 – Do the Entity Check

Useful to check if the plugin is fired from your target entity.

Add in the comments below your tips to not be forgotten!
